My NetGear router came with a default MTU of 1458 which worked fine, but soon I'm switching to UKOnline and during their setup guides they recommend I have my MTU set to 1500 which is apparently the max? and best.
I changed it to 1500 and don't notice much difference, everything works anyway.. the only problem I have is with reading this article on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit#ATM_backbones.2C_an_example_of_MTU_tuning
Now I'm far from an expert, but I want to have the optimum connection when it comes to gaming. This article seems to say that an MTU of 1478 (I think?) is the best for PPPoA connections?
Could anyone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance for your time!
